SUMMARY:UPDATE: First Day Hike is Cancelled. Hot Chocolate Reception is still on!
DESCRIPTION:Update – unfortunately\, icy trail conditions prevent us from offering a guided First Day Hike this year.

Join us and help us kick off the New Year! \n……………………. \nEnjoy a leisurely three-mile stroll down the Canalside Rail Trail and get the New Year started off on a Great Falls note! This family friendly hike follows a gentle route and provides an opportunity to discover the abundant natural\, historical\, and cultural features that make the Great Falls Discovery Center and Canalside Rail Trail such an amazing State Park! Be prepared for cold weather: dress in layers and wear winter boots. Dogs are welcome on-leash. Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Great Falls Discovery Center. Meet in the Great Hall.
